Maggie Dove (2016)
“Some solemnity seemed called for and so she dressed with care that morning, put on heels and her black Eileen Fisher pants and her black Eileen Fisher blouse, and she figured if nothing else, she looked elegant. Then she combed out her hair, put in her pearl earrings, checked the clock and saw it was 7 in the morning.
So it was going to be that kind of day.
Might as well plan out her Sunday School lesson. She gathered up her supplies and cogitated over what to do the following day, when Edgar B...lake, he of the lice in his hair, was certain to show up in her classroom. She had no proof, of course, but she was inclined to believe Agnes on this one. If Agnes said the boy had lice, he did. She couldn’t toss him out of class and she couldn’t embarrass him, but she wondered if there would be a way to get him to wear a bathing cap. He was the sort of child who would probably like a bathing cap. Her own daughter had worn a bathing cap for years. Maggie never did figure out why.
If she could get Edgar into a cap, maybe then she could persuade him to watch one of the new movies the church had ordered in which various characters from the Bible were portrayed by vegetables.MoreLess
